The series consists of a variety of monographs from the fields of Classical Philology and Ancient History. While maintaining a broad thematic and methodological scope, the editors are especially keen on studies showing a thorough and critical engagement with the relevant literary texts and primary sources.
The commentary on Cicero''s De inventione by Grillius, the rhetor of late antiquity, was newly edited in 2002 by Rainer Jakobi. As a supplement, Jakobi now offers an introduction into and an in-depth annotation of the text. Jakobi first dates Grillius'' commentary to the turn of the fifth century and describes the academic culture of Grillius'' time, including his social context as well as his position in the long tradition of commentary on Cicero''s De inventione. In addition to a detailed discussion on the manuscript tradition and the reception of the text, the principal part of the book offers an annotation of the Grillius text lemma by lemma, always with a view to the original text, Cicero''s De inventione. Each section is preceded by an analysis, a representation of the structure and a commentary on the sources.
"In Verbindung mit seiner Teubner-Ausgabe des Grillius-Textes ist Jakobis Kommentar ein fester philologischer Trittstein für alle künftige Forschung im Bereich der spätantiken Rhetorikgeschichte."
Thomas Zinsmaier in: Jahrbuch Rhetorik 25/2006
